Following a banal incident in her local village, eight-year old Shula is accused of witchcraft. After a short trial she is found guilty, taken into state custody and exiled to a witch camp. At the camp she takes part in an initiation ceremony where she is shown the rules surrounding her new life as a witch. Like the other residents, Shula is tied to a ribbon which is attached to a coil that perches on a large truck. She is told that should she ever cut the ribbon, she’ll be cursed and transformed into a goat.  I Am Not a Witch approaches real-life injustices with a beguiling blend of sorrow, anger and humour, marking writer-director Rungano Nyoni as an exciting new talent.

This story of a girl in Zambia accused of witchcraft, is comic, tragic – and captivatingly beautiful.” (Mark Kermode – The Observer)

A Bollywood-style update of Jane Austen’s classic tale, in which Mrs. Bakshi is eager to find suitable husbands for her four unmarried daughters. When the rich single gentlemen Balraj and Darcy come to visit, the Bakshis have high hopes, though circumstance and boorish opinions threaten to get in the way of romance.

Swapping corsets for saris, and polite pianoforte for the bhangra beat, director Gurinder Chadha reinvigorates Jane Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’ with fun and flamboyance.” (Stella Papamichael – BBC)
